Happiness In and Out of the Classroom
Teacher Morale and Motivation
Teachers all start out the school year feeling refreshed and energized. We are eager to start new things, meet new students, and inspire the love of learning in each and every student. We continue on that path for a few months and make it to the Easter holidays. The new calendar year brings renewed spirit, but that energy can quickly wane as the days stretch on.
Now imagine a faculty that stays energized and balanced for the duration of the school year. How would this affect school culture? How would this affect student learning? When your school begins your mindful morale journey, you will quickly recognize the power mindfulness could have, not just for your students, but for all of you who work in schools. By introducing mindful morale as a philosophy and a way of thinking, faculty can begin to experience benefits.

Thinking and feeling - teachers need to do both
Teaching is a highly emotional craft, loaded with possibility and expectation, importance and scale. Teacher morale is a by-product of being treated as leaders and being treated with respect. Teacher morale is the end product of empowering teachers to make decisions that affect their lives. Teachers report that already low estimates on teacher morale are continuing to plummet . The number of teachers taking stress leave is increasing every year.
We ask an awful lot of teachers these days. Beyond just conveying the course material, teachers are supposed to provide a nurturing learning environment, be responsive to students, parents and colleagues, juggle the demands of standardized testing, coach students through conflicts with peers, be exemplars of emotion regulation, handle disruptive behaviour and generally be great role models;...the problem is we rarely give teachers training or resources for any of them. .
